sextet: organix trio + heart of the ghost. creative alliance, baltimore 5/18/18


two saxophones
communicating
strange new
species of bird
emerging
from behind mountain
sandstone cathedrals
to ascend above
the clouds
and speak
the heart language
one to the other–
playful and forlorn

two basses
and two drum kits
descend into
low pacific depths
where they whale sing
basses with bows
and drums coaxing
high voiced calls
from cymbal
swirl manipulations

birds and whales
heights and depths
a sextet tracing
the outlines of forms
hidden within
this combustible world
